Hotel IT no longer stops at the front desk.

The demands placed on hotels have changed fundamentally in recent years. Guests expect stable Wi-Fi, digital check-in processes, reliable POS systems, and around-the-clock service availability. At the same time, the shortage of skilled workers and rising security requirements add further pressure to daily operations.

For a hospitality management company like Blue & Red Water Hospitality Solutions, this means IT must not only work – it must be scalable, secure, and available 24/7. That’s exactly why Blue & Red relies on a partner who understands the specific needs of the hospitality industry and supports hotels through every phase of operation.

A partnership, not a series of projects

More than support – an external IT department for the corporate group.

The collaboration between Blue & Red and aobis isn’t built around individual projects, but on a long-term partnership. A group-wide framework agreement enables new hotel projects to be implemented quickly, existing locations to be further developed, and technical decisions to be made jointly.

For many companies within the Blue & Red Water Hospitality group, aobis effectively acts as an external IT department – covering everything from strategic consulting and project management to implementation and ongoing operations. This creates short decision paths, consistent standards, and the flexibility a growing hotel group needs.

Digitalization doesn’t end when a hotel opens.

Technology keeps evolving – from artificial intelligence to automation to new IT security requirements. For Blue & Red, digitalization is therefore an ongoing process, shaped together with the right partner.

Regular exchange generates new ideas, shared standards, and solutions that not only support day-to-day operations but also anticipate future developments. This keeps IT flexible, secure, and ready for the next generation of hospitality.

aobis is the ideal IT partner for us – and in my view, not just for Blue & Red Water Hospitality Solutions, but for the entire hospitality industry. The team understands the specific demands of our sector, thinks in terms of solutions, and delivers the full spectrum of modern hotel IT from a single source.

The aobis One-Stop Shop

Hotel IT today involves far more than networks, Wi-Fi, or support. A wide range of systems, software solutions, and security requirements need to work together reliably – across hotels, brands, and business units.

This is exactly where aobis steps in as a central IT partner. Instead of coordinating multiple service providers, Blue & Red Water Hospitality Solutions has a single point of contact who understands the entire IT landscape and actively develops it further.

From strategic consulting to project management, selecting the right hospitality solutions, cyber security, cloud services, and managed services, aobis supports the entire lifecycle of a hotel project. This also includes administrative IT and group-wide standards for new builds, hotel acquisitions, and existing locations.

For Blue & Red, this means one thing above all: less coordination effort, clear responsibilities, and an IT setup that grows with the company.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common questions about hotel IT, hospitality management, and working with aobis.

With 23 hotels, seven brands, and a wide variety of operating concepts, Blue & Red needs IT that is both standardized and flexible. aobis supports the corporate group as a strategic IT partner – from designing new hotels to day-to-day operations to the continuous development of the entire IT landscape.

The collaboration covers nearly the entire IT lifecycle: IT consulting, project management, network and Wi-Fi infrastructure, hospitality business solutions (PMS, POS, and interfaces), cloud services, cyber security, managed services, and support for administrative IT. For large parts of the corporate group, aobis functions as an external IT department.

Jointly developed IT standards ensure that new builds, hotel acquisitions, and different brands can be integrated efficiently. From technical planning through implementation to go-live, aobis supports every project and creates a scalable IT foundation for future growth.

Hotels operate around the clock and rely on numerous interconnected systems – from the property management system (PMS) to POS systems to guest Wi-Fi, telephony, and cloud applications. Specialized hotel IT ensures these systems work together reliably and that hotel operations run smoothly at all times.

Cyber security is a core part of Blue & Red Water Hospitality Solutions’ IT strategy. Together with aobis, group-wide security standards were developed and implemented to sustainably protect hotel operations, company data, and guest information. The goal is to identify security risks early and keep operations permanently secure.

A central IT partner significantly reduces coordination effort. Instead of managing numerous service providers, hotel groups get consulting, project management, implementation, and operations from a single source – creating clear responsibilities, faster decisions, and IT that grows with the business.

Both companies share the same approach: thinking long-term, acting as true partners, and developing solutions that sustainably support hotel operations. Ongoing dialogue doesn’t produce off-the-shelf solutions, but IT concepts tailored to the specific needs of modern hospitality businesses.
